    Cellular respiration is a very interesting topic that we are currently learning about in our biology class. What makes this particular topic so remarkable are all of the different elements that work together for cellular respiration to occur in human beings and animals. In the video, “ATP & Respiration: Crash Course Biology #& 7.” (ATP & Respiration: Crash Course Biology #7. n.d.). The narrator does an excellent job of explaining the cellular respiration process in a very clear cut…

    It was time to depart. The engines had been warmed up, the supplies were ready and the equipment had been installed and was ready to use. “Five, four, three, two, one, BLAST-Off” chanted Captain Xerox at headquarters, and with that our micro-V96 craft was propelled towards the cell membrane for the first leg of our journey to investigate the process of Protein Synthesis in a eukaryotic animal cell. The cell membrane is a delicate wall of phospholipid molecules, consisting of hydrophilic heads…

    Introduction The predominant disease that mutant FGFR3 (fibroblast growth factor receptor 3) gene causes is Achondroplasia. Furthermore, Achondroplasia means the absence of chondrocyte formation in bones. Additionally, the transformation of chondrocytes into bone cells is prevalent in the limbs as well as the facial bones of humans (1). Therefore, the predominant symptom of Achondroplasia is bone growth retardation and is found in the limbs as well as facial bones. The majority of people…

    Sickle Cell Anemia is an inherited blood disorder that mostly affects people of African ancestry, but it can also occur in other ethnic groups such as Middle East and Mediterranean descent (National Institute of Health). The disease affects the hemoglobin molecule in the red blood cells. Hemoglobin helps with carrying oxygen from the lungs and delivering it to different parts of the body. The mutation of this disease makes the cells become abnormal and irregular shaped. As a result, the abnormal…

    The energy currency for almost all living organisms is a compound called ATP, or adenosine tri-phosphate. This compound is made of up one adenine and three phosphate molecules which link together to form a structure like this: Adenosine Notice that the three bonds within this molecule become increasingly longer the farther away the phosphate is from the adenosine. This is to represent the fact that the bonds weaken as the distance between the adenosine and phosphates increases. This is…

    The DNA in living things is highly conserved. DNA has four bases that code for all differences in living things on Earth. Adenine, Cytosine, Guanine, and Thymine line up in a specific order and a group of three, or a codon, code for one of 20 amino acids found on Earth. The order of those amino acids determines what protein is made. Interestingly scientists have found that only…

    up at different points in the blood vessels, blocking other healthy cells to get through causing blood clots and restricting oxygen from circulating through the bloodstream. The mutation that causes the blood cell to deform is when the nucleotide adenine on the regular strand of DNA is substituted for thymine. Symptoms of this disease include pain and swelling. The goal…

    DNA, it makes everyone special and unique. Throughout time, scientists have discovered many things about DNA. One such discovery the pairing of adenine-thymine and guanine-cytosine, but what about the structure? Watson and Crick are acknowledged the most for discovering and contributing the most to the structure of DNA in eighteen months; but what about Franklin? Though Watson and Crick are known for discovering DNA’s structure, Rosalind Franklin contributed the most to finding the structure of…
